## About this episode

The July 22 attacks in Norway take center stage as reports emerge of an anti-terror exercise held in Oslo just days prior to the tragedy. Skepticism surrounds the lone wolf narrative of Anders Breivik, whose English-language manifesto and the sudden media appearance of a Goth Pilot on CNN suggest a coordinated disinformation campaign. This event serves as a potential pretext for expanded police state measures across the European Union while distracting from the Murdoch phone-hacking scandal.

Geopolitical shifts intensify as the Eurozone bailout fund expansion effectively ends the era of independent nation-states in favor of a Brussels-led economic government. In Washington, Senator Tom Coburn admits the Cut, Cap, and Balance plan is designed to appease credit rating agencies rather than the American public, while the State Department prepares a private army of 5,500 contractors for Iraq. Meanwhile, Senate hearings featuring Senators Lieberman and Graham signal a scripted Path to Persia to justify future military action against Iran. Domestic concerns rise as Congressman Dennis Kucinich exposes the Chained CPI proposal, a move that threatens to lower Social Security benefits and force seniors into a cat food standard of living.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak broadcast from the heat of Clearwater, Florida, observing Scientologists in wool blazers while navigating the design flaws of their tour RV. The duo deconstructs the rhetorical triples of the New York Times and the bizarre appearance of the number 33 across global news cycles. Formal knighthoods are bestowed upon loyal producers as the tour prepares for its next stop in New Orleans.
